Clear unnecessary components from the URL query string and potentially improve your privacy.

Link Cleaner removes unnecessary components from a URL or hyperlink.

In general. each URL has several components, such as protocol, domain, and search query string. With this addon, you can easily clean the URL's search query string by adjusting rules in the options page. It operates in two modes (Inclusive and Exclusive). In the inclusive mode, all domains are monitored except those listed in the whitelist table (which, are adjusted separately based on the written rules). In the exclusive mode, only domain(s) in the whitelist table are considered, and all other domains are dismissed. Moreover, this addon can monitor tab (top) domain only, iframe (frame) domain only, and both. The default option is to monitor the top domain only. If you want to see the affected URL(s), please mark the console log option and open the browser's console. The toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch to quickly turn the extension on or off.

Note: this extension only works when the link is about to load in a tab or window; it does not change the link's href within the page.
